| Contraception is not abortion. An abortion is what happens when a pregnancy ends before the fetus is viable, either by nature (misscarriage) or medical inducement.
Things like IUDs, Plan B, etc do NOT cause abortions. They prevent fertilized eggs from implanting themselves into the uterine lining (a secondary effect of standard oral contraceptives should they fail to prevent ovulation).
Until implantation has occured there is no pregnancy. Even women who don't use contraceptives pass fertilized eggs before they are implanted. No pregnancy = no abortion. |
